THE HERETIC PRINCE is a queer, trans and sapphic high fantasy YA novel about a runaway transmasculine prince who claims the crown to save his family- and the love of his life. Full summary below!

The first Mychal Halwood died ten years ago, and no one can ever find out.

A transmasculine prince, running from his destiny. A princess with forbidden magic, days away from being promised to the enemy. And the heir to the evangelist northern kingdom, starting to doubt…

Nearly a decade after wars across the borders gave the militant Priesthood the opportunity to occupy the kingdoms of the Triad, the sinister Godhead’s rule has affected everyone. For Mychal, a young squire in the Holy Army, it meant the deaths of his mother and brother, and the need to hide who he truly is. The Priesthood would kill him if they ever found out he was working for the Resistance, and not just because he and the missing princess are one and the same. But when his first love asks for help and his first battle ends in disaster, Mychal finds he has to go home– and take his brother’s place as heir to the throne.

The Heretic Prince tells Mychal’s story, as well as Samira, his childhood friend and first love hiding her outlawed powers in the wake of her betrothal to the Godhead, and Edris, the heir to the Priesthood’s closest allied kingdom who meets a handsome knight and begins to doubt his commitment to the Faith. As their paths intersect with each other's, they discover that Mychal and Samira’s love for each other might just be enough to topple an empire- and win their freedom to be together.

It's ugly as hell and heavily overpriced. Almost 200 zł ($47) for this? Literal fucking robbery.

growing up doesn't have to be bad.

since october 22nd, we’ve been protesting in many big cities, churches, everywhere. the capital rn is basically blocked, people are everywhere, stopping the traffic, paralyzing the city.

it’s enormous and it’s tragic that we have to do this but it’s important for me that more people know what’s happening.

there are talks about banning abortion after rape and from incest too. it’s really hell.

but we’re protesting. we’re loud and we’re not going anywhere. more people need to know that’s happening here. we’re here, we’ll be here, fighting and protesting, all over the country and beyond too and it’s important to know that poland’s streets are not empty.

they’re full of enraged people, fighting for their rights, standing against the government, against the police using pepper spray and force.
